In 1978 Eddie Mathews was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame and today still ranks second all-time among third basemen in home runs, RBI, slugging percentage and total bases. In the front waistband of the pants is the “Wilson” size 36 manufacturers tag. Below is the wash instructions tag. In the back of the pants below the waistband is “Matthews,” “1960,” and “1960 Set 1” embroidered felt strip tags. Matthews (deceased) autographed the pants in the back waistband in blue marker with “HOF 78” and “512 Home Runs” added and rates a 9. The pants show game-use and appear to have no alterations of any kind. The autograph is accompanied by a LOA from JSA.
